I agree completely. I thought electricians were bad, but HVAC techs are worse. I think that EPA license is granted by god himself to an elite chosen few.
That's what I love about this forum. People are going to do it even if you tell them not to, so provide them some information to do it right. It's like sex education for teenagers.
I've been playing with a window unit turned around backwards for heat and it works surprisingly well. I can't understand why window units sold as "heat pumps" with a reverse cycle are so rare and expensive. If nothing else they should market 5000 BTU compressor based bedroom heaters with no cooling cycle. There are more heating days in the year than cooling days in most places in the US.
